[QUOTE="NHDRVR, post: 617049, member: 10327"] When I started driving in Manchester, NH, our shop steward, Tom, once pulled me aside and mentioned a couple of things that I still remember 20 years later. "Be aware of whose route you are doing and make sure you are not being taken advantage of." I had NO idea what he was talking about at the time and through numerous center managers, on-roads, and routes, I see the bigger picture now and I can read between the lines. In my opinion there is not a chicken/egg anymore. This animal that we work for is a daily survival tactic. Overly dramatic??... perhaps, but Name me one driver in your center that is concerned with who he/she is pissing off or what he/she can do to improve the company... they aren't... You grab your diad, punch in, bitch about dispatch, and try not to get hurt or get in an accident. I don't care about 'UPS' (sorry), the customers, or ,my pickup compliance time... I am thinking about my family, my kids, and what I need to do over the weekend. This isn't selfiish, it's reality... No chicken, no egg... [/QUOTE]
